    Sleepyhead.

    Spotted on the Halifax NS boardwalk. From memory, the sculpture is I think called "The Wave".

    Great eye! He looks like he is about to get drenched big time.

    Neat capture. If this were mine, I'd think about cropping it into a square with the right side of the image somewhere between the end of the structure and the table on the pier - to eliminate the table...

    Thanks all for the comments. It had been very hot in Canada up to that point and on that day it was humid as well. I think it had got to him.

    Richard, a square crop would work well. My original thought was to use the "table" (info board I think) as a compositional stop on the RHS given that it forms a triangle with the boy and the motor yacht. Cropping it doesn't really make much difference in that respect but it does remove that distracting dark patch top right so probably worth doing.

    Good catch, John...I am more interested in the scene ahead and wished you had moved closer to get the boat in full with that wave form but it looks like you had disturbed this fella.

    Very nice John and Richard's crop suggestion might improve the image
